Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with dried thyme, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a slow cooker. Place the browned chicken on top.
5. Add the sliced bell peppers, diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and Kalamata olives to the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
6. Cover and cook on low for 2.5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
7. Once done, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve the Mediterranean chicken stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Special Tips or Variations:
- You can customize this stew by adding other Mediterranean ingredients like artichokes, capers, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Serve the stew over cooked couscous, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- This stew tastes even better the next day, making it a perfect make-ahead meal.
